I love it too. Since it's so tall we can't get a wrap and it looks funny with just a band so we decided on getting two anniversary bands to put on each side of it. I LOVE IT! plus the more diamonds there is, the better it makes the ring haha

a half of carat or maybe more? I can't remember, but what I do know is that with the other two bands it should equal out to be a carat and a half!

Really, our rings are a lot alike! Mine is 1/2 carat princess cut too!

I think princess cut is just so pretty!

I bet it will look gorgeous with the bands!

The only part I'm not excited about it being plump at my wedding

Oh gosh, these rings are so pretty!

I don't have my engagement ring yet (financial reasons) but what we've been looking at is a princess cut sapphire in white gold, and then a wrap with two diamonds or white sapphires on either side... I'm so excited!

I love the ring dh gave me for our engagement (keep in mind we got engaged unlike most folks - over the phone
), and I didn't get the ring until one of my trips out to see him mid summer (we got engaged the day after Valentine's day). He picked it out himself from a place that is now a favorite for us (Shane Company), knowing only that I loved pear diamonds and would rather have a smaller one that was near perfect than a larger one that had poor color etc.

The ring has a pear diamond that is over 1/2 carat, in a 6 prong setting, yellow gold, and sparkles, sparkles, sparkles..very nice fire.

Several years into our marriage he bought me a ring wrap that has two marquis cut rubies and 1 marquis cut diamond - they arch up as a spray around one side of the pear diamond. I love it

I loved it though, and Bri picked it out all by hisself, I can't believe I can't remember what the dang thing looked like!
That's hilarious!! I am a recent divorcee myself and I want to forget a lot of stuff--not the jewelry--just the other stupid things!!

What beautiful rings!!!

I have to admit, I gave my husband a brief education regarding "The 4 C's" when it comes to buying a diamond. I worked at a jewerly store when I was younger and told him it was an investment.


All I told my husband was that I wanted a Princess Cut that was at least 1/2 carat. He got me a 1 carat Princess Cut with an additional 1 carat in the band....then the wedding ring was another carat. It sounds all well and good, but we were also paying for our own large wedding so he financed the ring....it took over a year to pay it off, thank God they had 0% interest!


Here is my ring
